UNIT AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING DEDICATED DESKTOP, AND PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent illegal copy by a capture AP etc. by generating a dedicated desktop capable of operating only a specified application program (AP). SOLUTION: On a basic desktop 11, a desktop manager 131 generates a dedicated desktop 12 for an AP 111 to be applied. An input/output manager 132 switches a space displayed on an output unit 14 from the basic desktop 11 to the dedicated desktop 12, and issues entire input events from an input unit 14 to the dedicated desktop 12. Further, on the dedicated desktop 12, a thread generation processor generates an application thread 121 which serves as another thread of the AP 111 to be applied. The above application thread 121 accepts each input event issued from the input/output manager 132. When the accepted input event is an event to request the initiation of the AP, the application thread 121 includes an input event acceptance section 124 to invalidate the input event.
